Trevor Francis has been discharged from hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack on Friday. Birmingham Heartlands confirmed that the former England striker was released on Monday, with the 57-year-old having recovered well from successful surgery to fit a stent into a blood vessel.

Francis earned legendary status with Birmingham City, the club where he starred between 1970-79 before becoming Britain's first £1m player when he joined Nottingham Forest. He scored the winning goal for Forest in the 1979 European Cup final against Malmo, subsequently helping the team reach the 1980 final against Hamburg although he missed the victory through injury.

Francis left Forest in 1981 and enjoyed spells with Manchester City, Sampdoria, Atalanta and Rangers. He won 52 England caps and represented his country at the 1982 World Cup, later enjoying player-manager stints with QPR and Sheffield Wednesday.

The Plymouth-born forward returned to Birmingham as manager in 1996 and led the club to three play-off semi-finals as well as the 2001 League Cup final, which they lost to Liverpool on penalties. After leaving St Andrew's in 2001, Francis had a two-year spell as manager of Crystal Palace and has since worked extensively as a television pundit.
